Central and South America

Central and South America shares many of the inhabitants of the Galapagos, meaning you’ll never be far from sea lions, iguanas, lava lizards, giant tortoises and exotic birds of all shapes and sizes. Here you can see elephant seals lazing on ice-floes, and immense rookeries of penguins surrounded by towering glaciers in Antarctica. In contrast, the lush Amazonian rainforest present the opportunity to go Piranha fishing or take part in  a night safari to spot caimans.

Lush rainforest and beach adventures

Vast beyond belief, the Amazon Rainforest is home to a tenth of the world’s plant life and animal species. Trek through lush rainforest canopy, paddle canoes on the quiet backwaters, and stay in eco-friendly jungle lodges. In Costa Rica, enjoy rafting, trekking and horse riding amidst fiery volcanic peaks, tropical beaches, hot springs and mossy cloud forests.

Incas, Aztecs and Mayans

Watch the sun rise over Machu Picchu, the fabled ‘Lost City of the Incas’, enjoy a scenic stay in beautiful Sacred Valley and marvel at the ancient Inca stronghold of Ollantaytambo. Here we can show you the temple pyramids of Mexico City, the former capital of the Aztecs, and the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.

Incredible landscapes

From the snow-capped peaks of the Andes to the thundering falls of Iguazu, the sheer range of drama is staggering. Amidst the wild, windswept plains of Patagonia, Torres del Paine is the jewel in the crown with its jagged peaks, pristine glaciers, waterfalls and crystal lakes.
